Question

In this exercise, use properties of rational exponents to simplify the given expression. Assume that all variables represent positive numbers.

(523)3\left(5^{\frac{2}{3}}\right)^3

Solution

Verified
Step 1
1 of 2

When an exponential expression is raised to a power, multiply the exponents and place the product of the exponents on the base.

So, to simplify (523)3(5^{\frac{2}{3}})^{3}, we will multiply 23\frac{2}{3} and 33 and then place it to the exponent of 55. Therefore (523)3=5233=52=25(5^{\frac{2}{3}})^{3} = 5^{\frac{2}{3} \cdot 3} = 5^{2} = 25.
